Usage Note
Campus is a direct borrowing from Latin/English and is invariable in French (the plural is also campus). It refers to a university grounds complex. In France many universities are spread across a city rather than having a single enclosed campus, so the concept can feel more Anglo-Saxon than French.
Examples
"Elle habite près du campus universitaire."
Natural Translation
She lives near the university campus.
